Ten minutes later.

   "Oh~ you two are here. Long time no see, Yoshida, and Mishima."

   "Hahaha, long time no see, Hashimoto-senpai."

  Looking at Hashimoto and Mishima Yuzuha who were greeting each other in front of him, Yoshida was stunned for a long time before he could react.

  What's the situation?

   Didn't you say you're going to drink coffee? ?

  Why did you come to a barbecue restaurant? ? ?

  And what does the old buddy Hashimoto mean by "you two"? ? ? ?

  With the successive questions popping up from his mind, Yoshida's brain was almost on the verge of shutting down.

  Seeing his dumbfounded expression, Mishima Yuba held back for a while, and couldn't hold back a "puchi" laugh.

   "Puhaha, Yoshida-senpai's face is so stupid now, it's so funny!"

  Three black lines appeared on Yoshida's forehead, and he asked loudly, "Hey! Mishima, what's going on? Explain to me clearly!"

   Mishima Yuba pouted her lips, as if it had nothing to do with her and said:

   "Is there anything to explain, I've already said it, Yoshida-senpai, you will definitely regret it if you don't come with me, is it right~?"

  Yoshida had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly realized, "Could it be that you were invited to the dinner too!??"

   "Correct answer~!" Mishima Yuba snapped his fingers, "By the way, the person who invited me here was Hashimoto-senpai, and others are not as stingy as Yoshida-senpai~"

  After she finished speaking triumphantly, she walked briskly into the restaurant first.

  Yoshida suddenly felt his blood pressure soar.

   No wonder this guy behaved so strangely today, it turned out that she was also invited!

  He turned his head and asked Hashimoto Xingshi who had been watching the show, "You called Mishima back then? Why didn't you tell me earlier!?"

  Hashimoto spread his hands and said innocently: "Oh~~ I also said that you two went to the same company, so you should communicate with each other, so you didn't~?"

   "I believe you ghost! In fact, you did it on purpose, right?"

   "Oh, you've got the hang of it."

   "Damn bastard! You don't even act! Do you know how embarrassing I am?"

  Yoshida cursed with a livid face, punched the bad friend **** the shoulder, and then strode forward with his legs.

  After entering the door, an aroma of oil and food came to my face.

  In the booth area at the corner of the barbecue restaurant, Mishima Yuba was smiling and reminiscing about the old days with his former colleagues, and his harmonious appearance did not look like a person who left the job at all.

  The former minister noticed him entering the door and waved in surprise, "Hey, Yoshida, why are you standing there stupidly? Come and sit down."

  Hearing this, the others also turned their heads.

   "Yoho, isn't this Yoshida! Long time no see!"

   "Busy people, it's not easy to see you."

   "Come, come, Yoshida, please sit down."

  Yoshida walked forward quickly, and greeted the old colleagues at a table: "Long time no see, Minister Onosaka, and everyone."

  A certain male colleague immediately corrected his slip of the tongue, "Yoshida, you are already an old calendar. Director Onosaka has been promoted, and now you should be called Director Onosakamoto."

   "Hey, is this true? Ono Sakabe... No, I mean Director Ono Sakamoto, congratulations." Yoshida said with some surprise.

  Although there is only one word difference between "Minister" and "Headquarters Minister", in the system of Japanese companies, the difference between the two is quite large.

   To put it simply, ministers generally only care about their own departments, while the minister is responsible for managing a region or several departments.

   Facing his congratulations, Haru Onosaka waved his hands with a smile on his face, and said modestly: "Hey, we are old buddies now, so don't worry so much, just sit down."

  Yoshida nodded, found a seat and sat down, his eyes drifted unconsciously to the female colleague, but he didn't see a certain figure.

  Several women inadvertently met his eyes, nodded briefly, and then didn't care much.

  He looked away in disappointment, only to be noticed by Hashimoto. The other party sat down beside him, lowered his voice and teased: "What? Are you looking for someone?"

  Of course Yoshida would not admit it, he waved his hand and said, "No, I'll just take a look..."

   "Ah, it's Goto-san."

"Huh-?"

  Hearing what Hashimoto said, Yoshida immediately stretched his neck reflexively to look at the entrance, but found that there was no one there.

  Hashimoto teased with a half-smile: "Oh, you really still miss Goto-san? I thought Mishima would have taken you down long ago."

  This bastard!

  The corners of Yoshida's eyes twitched, and his fist hardened instantly.

  He was about to have an attack, when Hashimoto's eyes widened in surprise the next second, "Ah, Ms. Goto is here."

  Seeing that this kid wanted to repeat the old trick, Yoshida nodded with a half-smile, and asked in a deep voice: "...Are you finished? Are you addicted to acting?"

However-

   "Ah, it's Goto's manager!"

   "Professor Goto is here."

  "Goto manager, here!"

  The colleagues around stood up one after another while talking.

  Yoshida was taken aback for a moment, then turned around suddenly, and sure enough, he saw a graceful figure approaching.

  The other party has long brown hair fluttering, a single ponytail tied on the right shoulder, and a suit and skirt look very mature.

   But the most conspicuous thing is the pair of H-cups that fill up the violet shirt, which almost attracted the attention of all the men present!

   "Google..."

  Indistinctly, Yoshida seemed to hear the sound of swallowing saliva from everywhere.

  He glanced around calmly, and found that the eyes of the men around him were all hot to varying degrees.

   This made him slightly uncomfortable, but he immediately realized that he was also one of them, and couldn't help but feel a burst of frustration.

   Having said that, he still stood up with the people around him, reluctantly making a welcoming gesture.

  Goto Aiyiri nodded to everyone one by one, and was slightly taken aback when he noticed him, and then a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he walked straight.

   "Ah, I heard that Yoshida might come today, but I didn't expect to see you. Long time no see, Yoshida."

  She said with a smile, with a bit of surprise in her leisurely tone, and she took the initiative to extend a hand.

   "Okay, long time no see, Ms. Goto." Yoshida couldn't help feeling a little nervous, but still nodded his head pretending to be calm, shook the hand up and down, and then let go immediately.

   Facing his stammering answer, Goto Airi blinked her eyes, her lips parted slightly, and was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted.

   "Hi, hi! Ms. Goto, long time no see. Nice to see you. Come and sit here."

   Mishima Yuba said with a playful smile, and forced Goto Airi to the side of the female colleague.

  Yoshida noticed that when she met his eyes, Mishima Yuba secretly made a face.

  He sat down with everyone for some unknown reason, and Hashimoto immediately came up to him, "That's great, I shook hands with Ms. Goto~"

  Yoshida slapped his face, and gave the bad friend an elbow, "...What nonsense, it's just general workplace etiquette."

  Hashimoto smiled, and didn't make much comment, and went to chat with other people.

  Yoshida looked at his right hand unconsciously, only feeling that the touch of shaking hands with Goto Airi still vaguely remained there.

  Although the contact was only for a few seconds, the softness and warmth of the opponent's hand were still vividly engraved in his mind, making him inexplicably uneasy.

  …

  Following the arrival of Goto Airi, several colleagues arrived one after another.

  The waiter quickly brought up various wine and dishes, and everyone pushed and changed glasses, and the scene was very harmonious.

  Yoshida drank absent-mindedly. He was the quietest person present, and basically didn't participate in the discussion very much.

   To be more precise, he couldn't participate even if he wanted to.

  Those old colleagues were talking about the company, so he, an outsider, naturally had nothing to talk about.

   Fortunately, everyone's focus is on Minister Ono Sakamoto and Specialist Goto, but no one cares about him.

   In contrast, Mishima Yuba has another performance.

  I saw her laughing and chatting with everyone, no matter facing men or women, she was able to handle with ease, and occasionally made a few uncles laugh, and she was very popular.

  Yoshida belatedly remembered that Mishima Yuba was originally quite popular in the workplace.

  Although it was not very obvious in "TYPE-MOON", this little girl is actually loved by the uncles, and her name is often mentioned by the bosses at the banquet.

   One thing to say, it's not that he can't understand the thoughts of those uncles.

   Mishima Yuba already had a cute appearance, with round eyes, small nose and mouth, she is a typical cute girl.

  She seems to have dressed up specially today. Her chestnut-colored mid-length hair hangs almost to her shoulders, and the ends of her hair are curled inward, giving her a youthful and playful look.

  Plus her character is quite clever, it would be no wonder if such a girl is not popular.

  ‘Why haven’t you noticed it usually? ’ Yoshida thought blankly, and realized the truth in the next second.

   It can only be said that the appearance of all the members of the "TYPE-MOON" studio is too high!

  Ordinary people only serve as a foil in front of them, so they naturally appear overshadowed.

   But once out of that environment, Mishima Yuba's charm suddenly became apparent.

   While he was deep in thought, Minister Onosaka who was sitting diagonally across from him suddenly handed over a barbecue tong.

   "Yoshida, why are you in a daze again? There's not much barbecue on the stove, you should cook more."

  Hashimoto frowned slightly, and said euphemistically: "Minister Ono Sakamoto, you are too cunning. Yoshida is not in the company anymore, so it is not good to ask him to barbecue?"

   "What's the matter? Yoshida used to be the person in charge of our barbecue, and everyone really likes to eat his grilled meat. Don't you think so, Yoshida."

  Yoshida couldn't help showing a wry smile.

  This Minister Onozaka has been like this since the time of the dinner party before. He only cares about chatting with new women and leaves this kind of drudgery to him.

  It seems that even if he is promoted, this person is still stubborn.

   Wanted to return home, but he couldn't refuse in front of so many people, so he had to take the tong toast.

  Hashimoto, who was sitting next to him, shook his head helplessly, and sighed softly: "...It's not that I talk too much, you really need to change your good old mentality."

  Yoshida smiled vaguely, not knowing how to respond, and used tongs to put the marinated pork belly on the plate piece by piece on the net.

  After the meat was almost roasted, Minister Onosaka picked up a piece of meat and dipped it in the sauce, then put it in his mouth.

   "Hmm—delicious! That's the taste! Sure enough, Yoshida's barbecue is really good, and he really deserves to be the person in charge of the barbecue."

  Yoshida touched his head and smiled politely, "Uh, you've won the prize, as long as you like it."

   "Of course I like it!" Minister Onozaka said regretfully: "It's a pity that you have switched jobs to other places now, and it is difficult for us to have this good luck."

   Yoshida didn’t take this kind of casual joke seriously, but a male colleague didn’t know whether he drank too much or had a wrong nerve, so he suddenly said this——

   "That's right! Yoshida, you're really right, you just got rejected by Goto's manager. As for resigning so impulsively? And I heard you went to a game company? Isn't that too casual?"

  His voice was so low that everyone present could hear him. Everyone was silent at first, and then cast strange glances one after another.

  Yoshida's expression froze, and his face flushed instantly.

  Even in his dreams, he never imagined that his old colleague would be so ignorant that he would make fun of such embarrassing things in public, making him unable to step down.

  Facing the eyes of everyone watching the excitement, he forced himself to smile, trying to find any topic to fool him.

  In the end, there was only a "bang~", Mishima Yuba jumped up—

   "This is simply too much! Yoshida-senpai is not such a naive person, and the company we are in now is not so casual! Endo-senpai doesn't understand anything at all!"

  She tensed her face, ignoring the reactions around her, and said quickly and urgently like a cannonball:

   "Actually, I've been wanting to say this for a long time, everyone is bullying Yoshida-senpai too much! Minister Onozaka always likes to direct Yoshida-senpai to barbecue, Endo-senpai always pushes his work to Yoshida-senpai, don't you feel ashamed?"

  Facing Mishima Yuba who suddenly turned his face, everyone was frightened and dumbfounded. They didn't understand why this little girl who was always laughing and joking would be so angry.

  Seeing that the situation was not right, Goto Aiyiri called out "Mishima" to try to control the situation, but instead provoked the anger of Mishima Yuzuha.

"And Ms. Goto, too, don't think you'll be fine if I don't tell you. You obviously have many things that others covet, but you have always maintained a passive attitude, calmly waiting for others to choose you, so it won't be too much Arrogant?"

   "Mishima."

   "You are really cunning. You clearly know what other people think, but you deliberately don't speak clearly. You didn't even try to keep Yoshida-senpai when he was about to leave!"

  The more Yuba Mishima talked, the angrier she became, and the more she talked, the more uncomfortable she felt. She stared at everyone present, and shouted sharply as if she wanted to find someone to quarrel:

   "In the end, apart from Hashimoto-senpai, there is no one here who really wants to invite Yoshida-senpai! What are you proud of? What are you proud of?

  What does it mean to resign on impulse? Do you know how powerful Yoshida-senpai is now?

  Not only did he become the head of technology in the new company, but he was also elected by our president as a partner of the company, and his income from dividends alone was tens of millions! It is simply not comparable to you! "

   "Mishima—!"

  Goto Aiyiri made a louder voice than usual, and forcibly interrupted her, "Enough, this is a public place, let's not trouble others anymore."

  Mishima Yuba woke up suddenly, moved her eyes to look around, and saw the employees of the barbecue shop staring at her in embarrassment, and even some diners were also staring at her in a daze.

  She suddenly felt her cheeks became very hot, and the mood that ran away due to emotional agitation quickly cooled down, and her rationality returned to her brain.

  She opened her mouth, subconsciously wanting to justify something, but in the end she just picked up her bag, lowered her head and walked out quickly.

   Before Yoshida could fully react, Hashimoto, who was sitting next to him, stuffed his suit jacket and briefcase into his hands, and gave him a hard push on his back, urging him to chase after him.

  Yoshida was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't bother to say anything, and strode out of the store with his things in his arms.

   There was no sound in the barbecue restaurant.

   After two minutes, people came to their senses one after another.

  Minister Onozaka moved his lips, and asked in a floating voice: "... Regarding what Mishima said just now, does anyone know the situation? Yoshida is really doing so well now?"

   Endo licked his lips, and said with a dry smile: "Isn't it? It should be just talking casually?"

  The two asked and answered each other, as if they were looking for comfort from each other.

  Hashimoto listened to their conversation, raised his hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said inadvertently:

   "Really? As far as I know, the owner of the company Yoshida is currently working for seems to be a celebrity. He was also known as the youngest billionaire in the Heisei era. Even the news reported this."

  Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then they all took out their phones and opened the search engine...

  …

  I just took over a new job and followed the process for two days, sorry.
